Queen victoria's Habits.

Herald of Health: I'm ordinary life the
queen is done breakfast before o'clock.
She rides or walks every day i'm fine
weather, and reads. writes or draws after
luncheon. Her greatest happiness Is de-
rived from association with members of
her family. Affairs Of state are discussed
with the minister i'm attendance between
breakfast and luncheon. and when any
thing of serious import is on tapis the
pleasures are neutralizcd by anxiety.
Queen Victoria always pays considerable
attention 10 the sanitary condition of the
palace i'm which she resides for the time
being. Her relish for outdoor exercise
enables her TO appreciate pure air
and 10 see that her living aud
sleeping apartments are properly ven
tilated. For some time after the death of
the prince conSort the intensity of her
grief told very severely on her physical
condition. The first evidence of this came
i'm the shape of an attack Of neuralgia. Ii
only required very short walk Ia produce
a strong sense Of fatigue and headache.
She suffered very much from slceplcssncss
and was constantly under the care of a
physician. Now that she is approaching
the ffticth year of her reign. after twenty
seven years of retirement. the queen has
begun once more to take interest i'm world
ly things.

The Vermont Sentry, an independ-
ent Republican paper, commenting
upon the Rhode Island election takes
the same ground the SITTER did last
week, as the following extract will
show:
This diminuton of republican
strength is not owing to any inc cas-
ing hostility to the republican party,
but to the letting down of party bars.
Men are becoming more independent.
They are disposed to vote for the
nominee of the other party if he is in
their estimation better fitted for an
office than the candidate of their own
party. Ring rule will not be patient
" endorsed. Republicans and dem
ocrats alike will bolt if an objectlona-
BILE candidate Is presented for their
SURFACES. Who doubts for mo-
ment but what the democratic vote Of
Vermont would be largely increased
if Atkins and >mallev could be over
thrown as s'bosses:' There are
hundreds of Vermont democrats who
in every election bolt the nominees of
their party simply because they pre-
fer an open, honest republican to
pseudo democrats, nominated through
the influence of leaders who sell out
the party every chance they get. And
it was on account of Objectionable
nominations-of candidates forced
upon the party by an INSCRIPTIONS
ring that the republicans Of Rhode
Island would not respond to calls tc
rally, but to a considerable extent vo.
ted the democratic ticket.

THE EXAMPLE OF KANSAS.

The Boston Journal has taken
pains to review the results of the
Kansas elections as regards their
bearing on woman suffrage, and de-
cides that "there was rather more de-
teri0ation of womanliness than eleya-
ton Of politics" The Journal reach
es this conclusion from evidence
which it finds in the dispatches of the
painful fact that there is n good deal
of human nature in woman and that
in several cases the best candidates
were not elected, although nearly all
the women who registered voted. 1t
also seems to look with disapproval
upon the vigorous campaign Of the
agGrieved sisters of Leavenworth,
which has been so widely commented
ON.
1t is difficult to see where the de-
terioration of womanliness comes in.
Are the women any worse or amy
better for having deposited the votes
representing the ideas held by them
before depositing said votes; and
does the fact that the best candidates
were not in every case elected prove
that woman's influence in politics is
not q good one? There is decided
non segujt,u' here and unless the
Journal can supply the missing link
we shall have to aiudge its little ar
gument bit of special pleading. 1t
Is looking for that height of perfec-
ton which no wise friend of woman
suffrage as a practical political princi-
pie claims for it.
1t is perhaps in point to suggest
that this entrance Of woman into the
political field is subject which the
vivacious newspaper correspondent,
who is often inclined to cyniclsm.
might paint in somewhat vivid colors,
Wouldn't it be well to form an opin-
ion from something besides newspa-
per dispatches, which are excellent
in their way but are sometimes unsafe
guides to Judgment on 4 matter Of
moment? Besides. we have equally
authentic reports testifying to the
greater purity of language and decen-
CIV of behavior at most Kansas po'!-
inc places, which the advent of this
new factor brought about. This is
